DRAFT POLICY
EXPLAINED BY
SELECTIVE SERVICE
Officials Answer Ques
tions and Cite Regula
tions Affecting 19-25
Group Subject to Call.
—♦—
Washington, Aug. 5—Worried whe
ther the draft might yanX the boy out
of school? Or whether you yourself
can get a defermeht?
Nobody can tell you for sure what
will happen. But Selective service
officials say this is the policy, laid
down partly in laws and partly in
regulations:
Only persons in the IS through 25
age group can be drafted now, al
though 18-year-olds must register.
If you are in the right age bracket
and have a job, it’s up to your local
draft board to decide whether your
type of work is of the kind and
infportance to warrant a deferment.
The board is supposed to defer any
one whose employment or occupation
“is found to be necessary to the main
tenance of national nealth, safety, or
interests.”
Nobody is giving the board yet a
definite list of jobs the government
considers vital. So the board is on
its own to a large extent, and it has
pretty wide discretion.
The commerce and labor depart
ment have given the armed services
lists of critical occupations to use a‘
guide in calling up national guard.
But selective service shows little in
terest in such lists. After all, its job
isn’t to see that business has enough
manpower, but that the armed ser
vices do.
Still, selective service might get
around later on to using job lists.
It had them during World War II,
although only for purposes of advis
ing draft boards.
Either you or your boss can ask
for a deferment because of the nature
of your job. And the board has to be
convinced you_can’t be replaced and
that putting you in uniform would
mean “a material loss of effective
ness" in the activity in which you are
engaged.
Suppose you boy is going to school
and is eligible for the draft. He can
stay in high school until he graduates
reaches his 20th birthday, or fails to
do satisfactory work. If the draft
board thinks he is trying to flunk
so he can stay in school longer, it
can draft him.
A lad who gets a draft call while
in college can finish out the academ
ic year.
Or if he is taking senior ROTC
—reserve officers training—in his
last two years, he can stay in school
if he agrees to take a commission
when he is through and remain on
active duty at least two years.
Or the draft board can defer him
if it decides it would serve the nat
ional health, safety or interest for
him to complete his course. Medical
or scientific students for instance,
might get deferments.
What if the army gets the boy be
fore he is through college? Is the
government going to finance his
schooling after he gets out of ser
vice?
It did for World War II veterans.
And bills are pending in congress to
extend educational and other bene
fits of the GI Bill of Rights to per
sons called into service because of
the Korean war and troubled world
conditions. So far the bills haven't
gone far.
Perhaps the boy is a member of
the reserves or national guard and
is now taking GI training as a re
sult of service in the last war. If
he is called into service again, or if
he volunteers, he can come back and
resume his schooling at any time be
fore July 25, 1956.

political survival Is taxing many
men to over-exertion. The business
tempo becomes faster and faster
whether you are on the production
line, in the office, or part of manage
ment.
Today’s social responsibilities find
men burning the candle at both ends.
Hot and cold wars help keep men
nervous and jittery. The result: a
civilization “on the go” of impatient,
tense persons, characterized by hy
pertensions, ulcers, insominia, a high
divorce rate, delinquency, and crime.
Have you too become touchy anc'
sensitive about little things? Have
family quarrels grown out of pro
portion to the incident? Do business
associates make you irritable? Are
headaches bothering you? Chances
are, then, you too have forgotten how
to relax. My long years of active
life have taught me that, if you are
to survive, you will have to learn
how to conserve and utilize econ
omically your own physical and men
tal resources. You owe it not only to
yourself and your family, but to your
country. A healthy, vigorous, emo
tionally well-balanced stock is espe
cially essential to the democratic
stead they immerse themselves in
more work or seek escape through
overstimulating commercial amuse
ments, or liquor. No matter what a
man’s goal may be—money, profes
sional advancement, social prestige,
or tohat have you—he must take
time out periodically to restore body
tonus.
Too many American businessmen
are tense, headachy, and hurried, be
lieving that if they are to obtain their i
goals, they cannot take time out for
quiet diversion. These individuals
will not live long! They are “selling
themselves for a mess of pottage”. 1
What most of these overworked peo
ple don’t realize is that they could
easily accomplish 50 percent better
results if they would learn how to
relax through regular periods of
constructive body-mind-soul refresh
ment.
Maximum Output '
Too few business leaders have
concerned themselves with their own
problems of prevention of psycho
physical breakdown and increasing
their own physical stamina, particu
larly those over Forty. It is not my
purpose to prescribe a course of ac
tion for such individuals. I shall be
satisfied if I have made them aware
of their own needs. They owe it to
the concern for which they work.
Nerves! Nerves! - Nerves!

“Relax and quit worrying,
it’s just your nerves,” is not Ve
ry helpful advice to a nervous
sick person. Such individuals
need help for they are really
sick and their sickness DOES
HAVE A CAUSE.
The problem is one of deep
seated and constant ner\ous
tension caused by an irritation
of the nerve roots leading from
the spine. Though nothing may
seem wrong organically, the
proper X-rays and other tests
will reveal this condition, when
an especially trained technician
makes an examination.
Only when the cause of this
irritation is removed can a per
son relax and quit worrying. Un
til then, the individual is sick.
mentally and physically. Such
illness will eventually lead to
real organic disturbances in
most cases.
Nature is constantly making
an effort to relieve this pressure
and sometimes through a pro
longed rest or change of clim
ate does accomplish it.
The most efficient and satis
factory way is to have a thor
ough examination by Dr. Hart,
who has had wide experience
in correcting nervous disorders.
